PORT-AU-PRINCE, Saturday, the 28th, 2026.— The Provisional Electoral Council (CEP) announced the official opening of the registration process for political parties, groups, and party coalitions for the period from March 2 to 12, 2026. This initiative is part of the application of Article 143 of the Electoral Decree of December 1, 2025, the institution specified in a press statement.

According to the CEP, official representatives of the political structures concerned are invited to report to the central office of the electoral body, located at 72, Rue Stephen Archer, in Pétion-Ville. The formalities must be completed between 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM, during the specified period, with all documents required by current legislation.

The electoral body indicates that the detailed list of required documents is available on its official website as well as on its digital platforms, notably Facebook and X. Among the documents to be provided are notarized articles of incorporation, party statutes, minutes of governing bodies, correspondence from the Ministry of Justice attesting to legal registration, color logos and emblems, as well as copies of identification documents for official representatives or duly designated proxies.

For groups and party coalitions, additional documents are required, particularly notarized agreements framing their formation and provisions relating to the use of a common emblem.

Through this initiative, the CEP affirms its commitment to conducting an “inclusive and impartial” electoral process, placed under the seal of independence and transparency. This registration phase constitutes a key step in preparing for the upcoming elections, in a context marked by the announced relaunch of the electoral calendar and the need to restore the confidence of political actors and public opinion in the electoral system.
